Is there a fix for VR hands not showing with Quest 3 while using steam or VD?

The only solution I have ever seen for this is to download and setup an account on the Oculus app. Has anyone gotten their VR hands to show with the Quest 3 without having the oculus app on their computer?

Strange, hands are not possible to remove. I have used Virtual Desktop, Meta app with cable, Steam VR, etc., they are always there!

Not always. I did some research and tried everything before making this post. There are users who have exactly the same problem as I do. They eventually solved it by installing the meta app. In those circumstances it's almost as if the app is needed to authenticate the headset similar to playing one of the old quest 2 games.
